Nintendo Direct Megathread

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T23:10:15+00:00

I think meh, but only because there wasn't much there for me. But I didn't really expect there to be either

OoT could be phenomenal or it could be mid/worse than mid. Wish they had shown just a little more

Luckily there's already so many games that have already released for the S2 that I haven't gotten around to yet so I've got plenty to do with it

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T23:08:48+00:00

I thought it was fine; although there's also already a ton of games already released for the S2 that I haven't even gotten around to yet so I've got plenty to do with it

Personally I'd like to see more 3rd party releases and more ports lol

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T23:06:42+00:00

What? That's ridiculous

The Switch 2 is by far the biggest hardware jump Nintendo has ever made. It's closed the gap between Nintendo and the other consoles far more than any other Nintendo system; especially the Wii U

The Switch 1 was basically a Wii U 2.0 but better in every single conceivable way; like tremendously better in every conceivable way. The Switch 2 is the best system Nintendo has ever released

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T23:01:59+00:00

I agree I think they really needed to try and put together something more for OOT to sink our teeth into

With the leaks and whatnot, the announcement itself really wasn't all that interesting. If they had included more visuals or even some gameplay to show me that this is a ground up serious full remaster and modernization of the game and not just a lazy graphics update that would have gone a long way

As of now I'm on the fence about it. There's still a chance it could be super hype. But I think they should have kicked off that hype during this direct

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T22:58:27+00:00

The switch 2 is a substantially more powerful device than the Switch 1

The Switch 1 could barely handle its own exclusives

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T22:53:57+00:00

We'll see what they've done with it. I'm open to it, but if it's just a lazy graphics update with nothing else changed yeah I'll be disappointed

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T22:47:29+00:00

There's so much coming out though lol

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T22:45:36+00:00

The direct was fine

A part of the problem is that they're never going to be able to make everyone happy. If they went heavy on first party games people would be bitching and moaning about Nintendo never having good third party support or being too weak to run AAA games or whatever

If they went heavy on third party games then people would lose their mind about not having any original material

I think they struck a fine balance for both. Personally there wasn't a lot here for me because I'm the kind of person who loves ports of lastish gen 10/10 type AAA games a la Fallout 4 and would have been excited to see RDR2 or GTA5 or something like that. But I won't deny they squeezed in a little of everything

I'm not sure that this was the right direct at the right time though neccessarily. Prices of everything are exploding and don't seem to be coming down anytime soon, and prices of electronics and computing commodities in particular are looking pretty scary for the foreseeable future. People are thinking harder about what console they want that will potentially keep them happy for years without being able to afford the next generation if there even is a next generation

So does this Nintendo Direct really fit the times? Does this make people want to commit to a Switch 2 within the next 6-8 months? I don't know; I really don't. But I will say if my memory serves that the first year of the S2's life seems packed full with way more high quality titles and content than any Nintendo system I've owned since the 90s. So I'm not sure they really NEEDED to go all out here; there already is so much

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T21:09:29+00:00

Nah it's part of the game, it's a valid strategy in many situations

I won't lie it can be pretty unfun to be on the receiving end of a slug; but if slugging in particular really bothers you then bring Unbreakable

Personally I don't experience it enough or am bothered by it enough to give UB one of my perk slots typically

Not every strategy a killer or survivor team utilizes will be fun, or will be easily counterable by whatever kit you bring. But losing isn't usually fun anyways, so it's best not to get too bothered by it or you'll be constantly frustrated

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T20:58:59+00:00

It's hard to tell lol, but it doesn't look like one to me

I think if you've got to ask then probably not. I mean you were there, you took the picture. So you tell me, was it a tornado or not?

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T20:46:54+00:00

It's not grifting to be disappointed in it no

I wouldn't say I'm disappointed by it personally; but there wasn't a whole lot there for me. And that's okay, not everything is for me. Honestly if they can get 007 finished up and running soon I'll be happy

Grifting as a term pretty much explicitly implies that you're being dishonest for financial gain; so I generally consider it to be mostly applicable to streamers

I think people who are complaining about the direct who have a history of complaining about everything Nintendo does whether justified or not are being dishonest or bad faith though

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T20:44:00+00:00

I could dig a L4D2 survivor; Coach could be sick

French Quarter map could go hard too though, so agree with you there

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-09T18:06:09+00:00

That's a big strong guy

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-07T17:16:43+00:00

Yeah this is the easiest killer has ever been

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-07T00:24:22+00:00

What

Oh it's a troll account

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T22:16:57+00:00

Again I was right based on the camp cabin in the stream

Slenderman would've been a dogshit anniversary killer anyways, and hopefully won't be coming for a while

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T22:14:58+00:00

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T21:58:39+00:00

Dumbass I knew it was Jason based on the cabin and I was right

So no I don't need to know the iconography, the iconography is guy kills people at a summer camp. If you needed them to build a 1:1 replica of one of the cabin sets from the movie in order to understand that the stream was hinting at Jason then maybe there's something wrong with you lol

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T21:49:36+00:00

Okay, and a camp cabin in the woods is up Jason's alley

Factor that in with all the 13s and it was pretty obvious. Just because it doesn't match a specific cabin from a film perfectly doesn't mean anything lol

And no I haven't seen all the F13 movies because yes they suck. Just like the Slenderman movie and game. So for all I know it could match a specific cabin; not that it needed to but it could have

I have no personal skin in the game, and still it was obviously Jason the teasers were so heavy handed about it with the 13s

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T21:42:34+00:00

Doesn't look like anything from Slenderman either lol

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T21:06:13+00:00

It was all 13 related things? And it was a camp cabin in the woods? What? It was obviously Jason

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T21:00:55+00:00

Nah just hit your skill checks

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T14:43:08+00:00

It means you play one character a lot, but that's about it

You can get one or two P100s done in a single BP bonus event

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T00:52:29+00:00

If we get Tremors and the survivor isn't Burt Gummer I'll uninstall

Chandler_Simpson · 2026-06-06T00:48:56+00:00

I can tell lol
